NOTE When initiating an update via a boot sequence, the update loader looks for updates first on the root of an
installed microSD card and then in the \temp folder on the MC9500-K's persistent storage volume. A response
file, pkgs.lst, indicates which files to update. In most cases, Motorola provides this pkgs.lst file with the update
and you should only modify it when updating a splash screen partition. See
information.
